November’s writing adventure continues. Follow NaNo 2.0 for #NaNoWriMo pep talks, resources & camaraderie for your month of literary abandon. Be sure to follow our wordsprint account: @nano2wordsprints.bsky.social https://nano2.org/
I know November is over, but in case you missed it, @nano2point0.bsky.social invited me to give a guest pep talk last month. I happen to feel it is relevant every day. Who’s a good writer? Is it you? It IS! nano2.org/posts/2025/a...
I wrote a guest post for @nano2point0.bsky.social, the newly-launched project from the original founder of NaNoWriMo. Some may know this already, but my debut novel FACE THE NIGHT was written during NaNo. This blog post is a celebration of that, and everything that came after! bit.ly/3KDw39n
And just like that - it's over! The 27th annual #NaNoWriMo is officially in the history books, and we're so thankful to everyone who put pen to paper this year. We hope you're all taking a well-earned break now! Feel free to drop a favorite line from your story in the comments.
You did it! (Or you're going to.) We have a winner badge and certificate waiting for you for when you reach the finish line! Visit NaNo2.org/validator to validate your final word count and download a personalized #NaNoWriMo winner certificate. Until then, happy writing!
We are so thankful for everyone writing with us this year! To show our thanks, we made this special card for our American friends if you need to get some extra writing done today. Show this to your families—it’s guaranteed to work! 🦃
It's true, we even asked the Surgeon General. Be careful out there, writers! The end is in sight!

We have more writer experience badges to share! Have you cried while writing or stayed up to write past midnight? Maybe you just wrote a big plot twist or finished a draft. Head to NaNo2.org to award yourself the applicable badges ✨
This is when I would usually let you know that a word sprint is coming... but I've got an appointment this morning, so I'll word sprint with you at NOON instead. 🕛 Great way to escape work is to disappear into your #NaNoWriMo story on your lunch break. Get your snacks ready & I'll see you then! 🥪📝
The third week of #NaNoWriMo comes with two paths you might take to the end. Need help deciding which to choose? Follow the link below and check out our newest pep talk for this week's dose of encouragement and guidance!
Are you also enjoying writing your book more the further into it you get? The Young Novelist Challenge teaches children the magic of writing stories early on!
Another round of badges and a helpful reminder. Remember to back up your novel! Make sure your work is saved before going to NaNo2.org to collect your badges.
Have you checked out our badges lately? We've added another Writer Experience badge! You can award yourself these badges for milestones and events that happen while you're writing your novel! Have you written every day so far? Keep it up so you can collect the badge for it at the end of the month!
Don't let Week 3 stress you out... because it can really be amazing! Check out our newest blog post to hear from Jane Rawson on the beauty of letting your story take the reigns in Week 3.
